This is just an anecdote I'm sure most of you can relate to.

9am, working from home.

• Oh wait I need to take my meds.

• Take meds, notice I'm out of my vitamin D supplement.

• Sit at laptop

• Open email

• Respond to question about statistics

• remember that I wanted to learn more about connection between bayesian stats and machine learning

• google

• chatgpt

• see previous chatgpt conversation, about wording a press release for my band

• remember that I need to edit some video of our last performance

• remember that I haven't fully watched/listened to the whole performance yet

• I can listen while I do the rest of my work!

• I'll just hook up my phone to my studio monitors then get to work

• where's that cord?

• oh I think I had to use it at the game the other night. It might be in that one bag.

• that's not here right now.

• I wonder how much they cost?

• Amazon

• Oh cool, they're cheap. But I want to listen NOW, so I can work.

• Open Walmart app

• ooh they have them in stock here.

• Drive

• Get cord

• I feel like I needed something else...

• D supplement! Whooo I remembered.

• go to pharmacy aisle

• Vitamin D! They were out of milk at the grocery on Sunday!

• Go to dairy case

• Get milk

• Pay

• Realize I walked away from the vitamins before deciding which brand and size to buy

• 11:14 am, one email answered!

Lol.

This isn't really seeking empathy or venting even, I've learned to find it funny. But I have milk and I can listen to the performance!
